In September, the Filipino Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii (FCC) announced its Fellows Class of 2026, the fifth cohort of its distinguished leadership development program.

This year’s program reaches a historic milestone as the Fellows Program expands to include participants from Oahu’s neighbor islands. This reflects the program’s mission to develop leaders across the state.

Applicants went through a rigorous committee interview process with FCCH advisors who are respected community leaders, and some were Fellows themselves.

FCCH says the Class of 2026 reflects the diversity, breadth, and depth of Filipino-American leadership in Hawaii. This year’s cohort is proudly called the Evolve Class.

The Fellows Class of 2026 are:

Jaynnel Agrade – Director of Nursing, Caring Manoa

Matthew Aqui – Brand Marketing Manager, Servco Pacific Inc.

Addison Bulosan (Kaua‘i) – Councilmember, County of Kaua‘i

Ryan Corpuz (Maui) – Food and Beverage Manager, Westin Nanea

Linda Dela Cruz – Multimedia Storyteller, Jerrette K. Productions

Linette Medina – Administrative Assistant, Amethyst Builders, LLC

Judy Relosimon Ng – Director, Brand Marketing, Servco Pacific Inc.

Melissa Pineda – Project Engineer, Amethyst Builders, LLC

Dean Anthony Ramos – Owner, Dean’s Solutions

Doug Williams – Director of Engineering, Laulea Engineering

“The Class of 2026 showcases the talent, dedication, and vision of the Filipino-American community in Hawai’i,” said Su Lazo, Chair of FCCH Fellows Committee.

“Their collective experience is wide-ranging, but what unites them is a shared commitment to leadership and service. This is the kind of investment that will continue to shape Hawai‘i’s future.”

The eight-month fellowship will engage Fellows in executive mentorship, leadership intensives, community impact projects, and professional development experiences.

The Fellows Program has become a cornerstone of FCCH’s mission to empower, inspire, and lead. Fellows alumni contribute significantly to business, public service, and non-profit leadership sectors.
